What Is This Tool?

This converter helps translate luminance measurements from the apostilb, a historical metric unit, to the foot-lambert, an imperial unit commonly used in cinema and display brightness specifications.

How to Use This Tool?

  • Enter the luminance value in apostilb that you want to convert
  • Select apostilb as the input unit and foot-lambert (fL) as the output unit
  • Click the convert button to obtain the result
  • Use the provided examples to verify and understand your conversion output

Key Features

  • Converts luminance values from apostilb (asb) to foot-lambert (fL)
  • Supports conversion for both historical and modern display calibration needs
  • Browser-based and easy to use without additional software
  • Provides conversion examples for clarity
  • Facilitates comparison between metric and imperial luminance units

Examples

  • 5 Apostilb equals 5 times 0.09290304 foot-lambert, resulting in 0.4645152 fL
  • 10 Apostilb equals 10 times 0.09290304 foot-lambert, resulting in 0.9290304 fL

Common Use Cases

  • Converting older photometric or cinematography brightness data into imperial units
  • Translating screen luminance values for cinema and home theater calibration
  • Analyzing historical lighting data alongside modern specifications
  • Calibrating displays or screens when imperial standards are required

Tips & Best Practices

  • Confirm that the units used correspond to the historical apostilb definition
  • Ensure proper context for the conversion considering metric versus imperial systems
  • Use the conversion as a reference when comparing older data with current standards
  • Check results with example calculations to avoid errors due to unit differences

Limitations

  • Apostilb is a non-SI, historical unit less common in modern applications
  • Conversion merges metric and imperial systems, requiring attention to correctness
  • Possible slight rounding discrepancies from approximate constants in definitions

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an apostilb used for?
The apostilb is a historical luminance unit primarily used in older photometric and cinematography brightness specifications as well as in lighting engineering for describing diffuse reflections.

Why convert apostilb to foot-lambert?
Converting apostilb to foot-lambert allows users to translate historical or metric luminance data into the imperial system commonly used for cinema screen brightness and home theater calibration.

Is the apostilb a standard SI unit?
No, the apostilb is a non-SI, historical unit and is less frequently used in current photometric standards.

Key Terminology

Apostilb
A historical, non-SI unit of luminance representing 1/π candela per square meter.
Foot-lambert (fL)
An imperial luminance unit equal to 1/π candela per square foot, used in screen brightness measurements.
Luminance
The measure of luminous intensity emitted or reflected from a surface per unit projected area in a specific direction.
